Yes you should remove the parents. If your breeding in a seperate enviornment you shouldn't even bother to put the male in because his role ends once the female is pregnant. The mother stays there until she is completely finished giving birth then immediatly remove her or she will forget and eat the babies...
DO NOT wait too long to move the female. If you wait too long to move her, she will become panicked and abort herself which will kill most if not all of your fry.
Dont try to move the fry until they are almost adult size from their seperate enviornment (unless they get too big) becuase they too are easily panicked and their poor little hearts give out.
Hope i helped!

well when my females had babies, i caught them and put them in a breeding net
after the parents breed, i didn't take out the male, because i had no where to put him, but yes the ma;les to annoy the females so if you really want to, why not, it'll make the females happier
if you aren't, just make sure for every 1 male you have 2-3 females so 1 female will get a break while the male is chasing the other female

First of all, unless you have a big aquarium you do not want to do this as your fish will continuously breed. Leave the parents in there so they can eat the baby fry. Your tank with get overpopulated quick so let them eat and eat.
